UNSPSC 50446205: Frozen cucuzza squash

The variety of summer squashes and summer pumpkins known as cucuzza squash that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50446205 Frozen cucuzza squash is a Commodity code that nominally covers a specific frozen vegetable product, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant activity — the solicitation block does not surface any opportunities for frozen cucuzza squash specifically. Instead, the recent opportunities filed under or near this code span a broad range of frozen and fresh produce, packaged grocery items, and institutional food service supply contracts. The issuing bodies soliciting under related frozen-vegetable codes include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services agencies (Texas), school districts and boards of education (Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, Pennsylvania), and county and municipal governments. Oregon's Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer, posting multiple ITBs for frozen vegetables (carrots, assorted blends, mixed items) in recent weeks. School districts dominate the activity numerically, with districts across Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia issuing food service bids that encompass frozen produce among broader grocery line items. The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, with additional activity in Pennsylvania and Illinois.

Representative recent opportunities show frozen-produce components within larger food-service solicitations rather than standalone cucuzza squash bids. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division posted ITB S2910000017451 on July 10, 2026 (due July 24, 2026) for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen corn at $0.498 per pound historical pricing, and ITB S2910000017439 (due July 24, 2026) for 120,000 pounds of frozen potato products at $0.3811 per pound from a January 2026 award. Earlier, ODOC posted ITB S2910000016558 (due April 22, 2026) for approximately 400,000 pounds of assorted frozen vegetables (green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, stir fry blend, peas) with historical pricing ranging $0.537 to $0.689 per pound. School district solicitations such as Burke County Public Schools' sealed bid (due June 5, 2026) and the City Schools of Decatur's IFB (due May 15, 2026) integrate frozen produce line items within 300+ to 400+ line-item grocery bids, with Buy American requirements and nutritional standards mandated. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792V2 (due March 19, 2026, extended from earlier) for 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Frozen vegetables appear as commodity inputs in these broader institutional food-service contracts, but standalone frozen cucuzza squash procurement is not evident in the recent opportunity block.
